Book review: How running transformed the life of NPR host Peter Sagal
"The Incomplete Book of Running" by Peter Sagal, Simon & Schuster, 208 pages You'll want to love Peter Sagal's book, "The Incomplete Book of Running," especially if you're a runner and particularly if you like Sagal, the host of NPR's popular news quiz show "Wait, Wait ... Don't Tell Me!" For those of us old enough to remember, the title and cover photo are a spoof of Jim Fixx's iconic 1977 book "The Complete Book of Running," which helped set off the U.S. running boom. Sagal, 53, is a very good runner -- he regularly qualifies for the Boston Marathon, a feat most running mortals cannot hope to achieve -- and a very good writer. He is clever, warm, funny and engaging, and as a longtime Runner's World columnist, he knows his running stuff.But the book is not just about running. It's about running and personal growth, which is both its virtue and its vice. The marathon is an easy metaphor for life's trials, and if you happen to actually be a marathoner, well, there's probably no … [Read more...] about Book review: How running transformed the life of NPR host Peter Sagal
Mitch Albom: How Detroiters stepped up to save child’s life
Mitch Albom Detroit Free Press Published 12:00 AM EST Dec 23, 2018 Three weeks. That’s how long he had gone without eating. His water intake had been minimal, small sips, whatever he could keep down, and he couldn’t keep much down. Something was wrong with Gaelson, a 7-year-old orphan — at least we think he’s 7, as there were no parents or paperwork when he was brought to us. But there was coughing, always coughing, a wet, unsettling cough that shook his small frame violently. In time, fever and vomiting followed, and no appetite, and a dazed look that let us know this was not some cold, not some flu, this was something serious. More serious than we imagined. This is a Christmas story of one little boy and a whole line of adults, from Haiti to Detroit, who pitched in to save his life. It’s the kind of thing that doesn’t happen all that often in these days of cynicism and self-protection. Gaelson Augustin is a regal sounding name, … [Read more...] about Mitch Albom: How Detroiters stepped up to save child’s life
